so normal IE worked perfectly, a lot of the drop down menus etc dont work in other browsers even using the tab program so I was putting 'UK' myself instead of choosing 'British' from their menu and other things that may have caused problems.

just installed that and tried it and exact same problem twice, Im going to try normal IE now

I just attempted the online 90 day for the first time, the form was very laggy when moving between fields, anyway I submitted it and then it went to a blank screen like attached. 

I guess this hasnt worked then? Should I just try again? I did it in Chrome btw

I dont have my flight number on my TM card so I just made one up, is that ok?

Ok I see, so if they call me today do I have to go and get the extension stamp or can I go another day?

It was never approved yesterday, they took a note of my number and said they will call me today, what a crazy and disorganised system, and how can I be walking around with a stamp in my passport that is out of date??

What happens if they dont call me today? When I called them yesterday no-one answered either number....

I live full time in Thailand but lets say I wanted to split my time 50/50 between here and the Uk what would be the easiest and hassle free visa? Im guessing a double entry tourist one right? Would there be any limitations on how many I could get and I assume applying for it in the Uk each time would be best?

Assuming the 50/50 time split would there be any advantage to staying on a non O with marriage extension?

Thanks

Go back tomorrow? But my stamp is dated for today, wont I be overstaying then?

Ok so Im here now at the office and they take my passport and then come back 1 min later and say 'sorry not confirm' or something and then just give me my passport back and when I asked them what that meant they said 'maybe afternoon' and have me a card with the office number on.

What does this mean then? Its 45 mins back to where I live so should I just wait?

My 30 day review/renewal period for my extension based on marriage is up on Monday 30th (IO already came to check on us in the house), does the Mrs need to go with me and do I need to take anything apart from my PP and/or do I need to pay anything?

This is at Samutprakkan btw, thanks

p.s also after a home visit has been done do they do them again in the future or dont bother?

Also, can someone please confirm/clarify for me about this 'kor ror 2' document? My mrs is saying its something we only get once and the Amphur is not going to issue another one. I think she is mistaken and thinking of the marriage certificate though right?

For the OP

I've had extensions at Samut Prakarn since at least 2006, possibly longer (since they made it you had to use the immigration in your province and not Suan Phlu).

To the information people have posted, Samut Prakarn generally want the original plus a copy (original returned once shown).

Get the bank letter and on the day of application either take out baht 100 at ATM or with your bank book to show the ATM/Bank book amount and bank letter amount tallies...they're ok with this.

Photos outside your address showing you, wife, kids and house number. Photos of you all in 3 or 4 rooms. Two copies.

They'll give your wife some form(s) to fill out.

We've never had a home visit.

The ladies on the front desk are generally nice; the 2 men on the back desks that do final check can be tough.

Thanks, I often do my 90 days at SP immigration and they always seem to be very nice and relaxed.

About this part:

"Get the bank letter and on the day of application either take out baht 100 at ATM or with your bank book to show the ATM/Bank book amount and bank letter amount tallies...they're ok with this."

What if the bank wont do it on the day I ask for it? Ive heard about this happening before and they might tell me to go pick it up the next day or something.

thanks

Don't forget the special paper work (extra 3-5 pages directly from the IO) Then don't forget it takes 5 weeks for IO to give you their decision. During that time you will need to be interview in your dwelling. Bribes will be asked for!

Don't forget to do your re-entry paperwork when you get your stamp if you plan to leave Thailand. Don't forget to do a 90 day while your there! Don't forget the map to your house. Don't forget... ah nevermind. lol

I did it first time last year and no-one ever came round for an interview and no bribes were asked for.

edit: Im sure it does happen though (Ive read here its not that common though), it just didn't happen with us

ok thanks guys

Yes your wife has to go with you every year. She has to do a statement that you both sign just like you did last year.

Not sure about your immigration office but many will want an updated Kor Ror 2. Just have your wife get it an Amphoe.

thanks, we've moved address since the first time so I guess new pics (outside the house) are needed to then right?

You may not need a copy of the affirmation this year but you will need everything else.

Damn, so my wife has to go with me every year I do this??

I guess I need a new registry doc from the amphur too then as they are only good for 6 months right?

To clarify, I got married last year, then got a non imm O outside Thailand and then did the marriage extension in May last year so I guess this is my 2nd time then right?

Do I need things like the marriage registry doc from the amphur and affirmation to marry plus photos and map etc again like the 1st time?

Around the first week of May my 1 year based on marriage is up and I need to extend it, this is my first time doing this.

I have a few questions and things I need to check:

Im doing it with the money in the bank method and Ive had the required amount there for a long time, I still need a letter from the bank to confirm this though right?

I have all my marriage certificate originals and will take that plus copies.

I have my house rental contract plus copies as well as landlady's tabian ban and ID card copies.

My wife doesn't need to go too right?

Have I missed anything?

I intend to go after songkran so that Im ahead of the last day in case there are extra requirements.

My address is smart prakan so will be doing it at that IO, if anyone has any tips for doing it there please let me know!

thanks

ok thanks guys

If you are leaving the country before the 90 day report is due there is no need to do one.

The next report due would 89 days after the day you return

Im going out of BKK but not the country, I came into Thailand on October 5th, dont I get 7 days after the full 90 days too though? In that case I could do it in person next week right?

Would rather give this online method a try though, if Im in the allowed period

My 90 days is due around Jan 2nd and Im leaving BKK Tues 29th Dec so I need to go in to my local office to do this myself tomorrow or do it online, can I do it online tomorrow and how do I know if its gone through ok?

Its been a while since I did one of these, are they still in the same place before passport control and is this all you need?

Ok, think I will go in then if it isnt busy, cant get the online to work for me anyway

OK well I cant get it to work either, in IE it tells me to contact immigration when I click submit after filling in the first page of details and in Chrome and using the recommended plugin it tells me the captha is wrong even though its clearly correct, any suggestions?

I will have a go online today then

Ok I have IE so will give it a shot today
